As if the Dallas Cowboys needed a reminder, wide receivers are an extremely valuable commodity in today’s NFL. Stefon Diggs offered that proof recently when he inked a three-year, $69 million deal to join the New England Patriots.
Even in a relatively unimpressive WR free agent bunch this year, Diggs signed for far more than predicted. In free agency forecasts Diggs was expected to sign something along the lines of one-year, $14 million. His actual deal which holds $26 million in guaranteed money, blew that prediction out of the water. The four-time Pro Bowler has a resume that features six 1,000-yard seasons, 70 career touchdown catches and over 10,000 career receiving yards.
